Leg exercise device

Abstract

A leg exercise device adapted for use with an adjustable dumbbell independent of a weight bench. The leg exercise device includes a bracket with a central sleeve that receives the bar of an adjustable dumbbell. Weight plates are attached to one end of the dumbbell bar and secured by a locking collar, while the other end of the bar receives a locking collar to secure the bar within the sleeve. A pair of opposing side portions extend out from the central sleeve and a foot handle is rotatable attached to each side portion. The foot handles include a pair of spaced outwardly extending padded fingers that engage opposite sides of the user's foot. The leg exercise device may be used to do leg extensions or leg curls on a weight bench that does not have an attachment designed for that purpose. The foot handles rotate while leg extensions or leg curls are being done so that the weight resistance automatically adjusts throughout the eccentric and concentric phases of each exercise.
